Las Verdes is a gated 55+ community in Delray Beach with condominium and attached-villa homes. The community includes a central Property Owners Association as well as individual condo associations, so the exact residence matters as much as the community name.

The lifestyle centres on a clubhouse, fitness room, ballroom, card room, billiards, library, pool and spa, tennis, bocce, shuffleboard, handball, walking areas, and two satellite pools. The community also has an activities office and resident programming.

For buyers who want a lower-maintenance condo or villa setting with recreation close at hand, Las Verdes offers a more established alternative to newer single-family communities.

Before making an offer, identify the exact association and review its current budget, reserves, insurance, building or roof responsibility, inspection history, fees, assessments, age and occupancy rules, approval steps, rental and pet rules. Do not assume a rule from one Las Verdes building applies to another.
